    Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

    Well, like I tell my 8-year-old, "everyone has their likes and dislikes." I work from home and often have the TV on as background noise. Just so happens KK was on last week, so I was reacquainted with the reasons I don't like this film. While technically masterful (and every bit deserving...

    Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

    "Oh no, it wasn't the airplanes. It was beauty killed the beast." How does Jackson go from making the LotR trilogy to this garbage film? And yes, I know it was in the original film.

    Just throwing it out there, is it possible he was playing the part of a surly Moe's bartender?

    I see what you did there and I didn't need to watch the clip!

    2013 Food & Wine Festival

    They've got me for the triple play (mortgage, CC and auto loan), so I know how you feel. I suppose technically the lounge isn't free as our interest payments and fees are helping to pay for it. - - - Updated - - - So, you're advocating fraud?

    Pandora: The World of Avatar Announcement, Construction, & Preview Discussion

    So, every one on this thread has been criticizing Disney for a stalled project with no details, doubting it would ever come to fruition. When they finally offer up proof and a targeted opening date, it's met with yawns and more criticism for said opening date. I swear, unless it's Universal...

    2013 Food & Wine Festival

    I was looking all over for it. Is it in the food court area or the lobby? Also, they had another (unadvertised) perk: reserved seating for the concerts. They were in the back, so provided you get inline early enough, you can get better seats. That being said, we didn't make it there in time...

    Disney's NextGen Initiative

    I've seen this $2B number thrown around quite a bit on here, yet has there been any kind of verification via regulatory filings or independent reporting that this Is the true investment for NextGen? I know "insiders" have touted this price tag, but honestly since NectGen has so many detractors...

    2013 Food & Wine Festival

    Izzy, had I known you were going to be there on Sat, maybe we could have arranged a mini OU meetup. We were there among the maddening crowds as well. There were definitely a lot of people there (I don't remember the last time I parked in Explore!), but we only felt uncomfortable in the Germany...

    Middle Earth coming to UOR?

    Don't get me wrong, I love LoR and all things nerdy, and know Uni would do a great job w/ the franchise, but I just think it would be redundant in IOA w/ WWoHP. Save it for an eventual 3rd gate; heck, make it the 3rd Gate all by itself.

    2013 Food & Wine Festival

    Wow, we were going to go after the UCF game but couldn't because our AP's were stolen along w/ my wife's wallet. Guess things work out for a reason sometimes, that doesn't look remotely fun.

    Stolen Annual Pass

    Has any one had their Annual Pass stolen? If so, how hard was it for you to get replacements? What about the Tables in Wonderland card? One of my wife's HS students stole her wallet right out her purse during class on Friday and promptly went on a $1,000 shopping spree after school. The...

    Fantasyland Expansion - Part 2

    I'm surprised no one had mentioned it yet. Pic on the AP page the yesterday is pretty cool. Also, while the cars don't seam overly-generous size wise, to me they don't look as cramped as everyone was making them out to be, either. Looks similar to BTM cars, to me...

    Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

    Are contributions to the Charitable Fund tax-deductible?

    Fantasyland Expansion - Part 2

    Yes, I believe I read on the Disney Parks blog that as there are two separate lines, once you meet the princesses in that line, you have to get in the next line for the others. I get that the combined wait time in order to meet all princesses Is going to be high, but aside from having an...

    Fantasyland Expansion - Part 2

    Orlando Sentinel got in an advance look of Fairytale Hall at MNSSHP and posted an extensive gallery. Looks nice inside. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/the-daily-disney/os-disney-princess-fairytale-hall-20130916,0,4354155.story

    Disney Hotel Information Channel Music

    If you have a smartphone, I'd recommend downloading Soundhound and fire it up next time you're at the hotel. In my experience, this app has a pretty solid track record identifying songs just by listening to 15-30 seconds of the sample. I've had it peg a song sung live and music played over a...

    Project 766 - Employee Parking Garage

    That's great news TM's are finally getting a parking garage. Too bad it's 10 years too late to do me any good, though! I had too many 12 hour shifts at that place only to have to practically walk to the DP stadium to get to my car.
